We help Baltimoreans GROW new fruit trees, GLEAN neighborhood trees, and GIVE fruit to those in need. Join us—plant, harvest, give and feel great!

The Baltimore Orchard Project

We are a diverse group of people who have joined together to plant, grow, glean and share fruit throughout the neighborhoods of Baltimore. We bring together our knowledge, passion, and resources to pursue two main projects.
■We glean fruit from trees in our yards, streets and civic places, fruit that would otherwise go to waste, and we distribute it to those in need.
■We partner with individuals and organizations in our community to plant trees, orchards and food forests (fruit trees, berry bushes and grapevines) for the benefit of our neighbors, our towns, our children and ourselves, today and tomorrow. Fruit trees create enchanted groves where neighbors can meet, rest, and seek refuge from the rush of the day. They bring pleasant blossoms and aromas in the spring, shade and comfort in the summer and food and fun in the fall. Fruit trees offer all the benefits that other trees do, only more. They clean the air of pollutants and particles, absorb carbon dioxide, produce oxygen, bring shade to our homes, sidewalks and streets, soak up storm water, create habitats for helpful wildlife, clean the soils, enhance real estate values, cool our parked cars and more. But unlike other trees, they also feed us. We want to work with you to create a time when there are orchards in every neighborhood, with fruit for the picking to all who walk by.

Happy mulberry season! 🍇 The Baltimore Orchard Project (BOP) is looking for harvestable mulberry and serviceberry trees this month in preparation for its annual Mulberry Madness celebration. The lowly mulberry, often maligned for its splat impact on sidewalks and cars, is actually a super nutritious fruit used by home cooks as well as fine dining establishments in a variety of dishes and drinks. Mulberries provide more iron than blueberries and as much Vitamin B-6, folate, Vitamin A and E as blueberries.

The Baltimore Orchard Project partners with such local businesses as and to create special culinary and beverage delights to celebrate Mulberry Madness. Check them out on June 21 at the Waverly Farmers Market when BOP will also be giving away fruit trees to Baltimore residents.

Contact us on our website: baltimoreorchardproject.org to let us know where BOP volunteers (or YOU) have permission to harvest mulberries or serviceberries. As part of its mission Baltimore Orchard Project harvests orchards, street trees and approved private private trees to give fruit away to human service organizations and local underserved communities. It’s estimated that one in four of Baltimore City residents lives in a food desert.
